How the f*ck does Star Citizen make so much money?

Its gonna be freaking hilarious when the developers of this Star Citizen game just bail on the project after they've made like $100m off hipster suckers. What they're promising sounds almost too good to be true, honestly. It doesn't smell right.

Win or lose I think it's worth supporting ambition every now and then. I'd be happy with even a modern Privateer done right.

something about Star Citizen doesn't ring true with me. It's incredibly ambitious and extremely well funded, but neither of those are really the key to it all.

I'm not following it as closely as some, but so far I haven't come across too much about the lore and story telling aspects for Star Citizen. The privateer universe had some real character to it, Blade Runner meets Star Wars, it was rad.
